Matt and I are off to Mexico with our dear friends, Lance and Sasha in less than forty-eight hours. I have bittersweet feelings about going -- do not want to leave my little Lucia, but know that I will have a good time with my husband. And again it hits me, I do not want to leave my little Lucia! She is staying with Matt's parents and will be a-okay and in wonderful hands, I know; however, I am already homesick for her!!! Oh, motherhood.

I have enjoyed the last couple of days gallivanting around with her -- she is such a doll. When she gets tired of being anywhere she says, "mom, can we please go home now?" Today she told me that I was her best friend. So cute.

When I was young I spent many Christmas Eve nights with my grandparents.

This morning when I woke, I thought of Jack sitting with his glasses low on his nose, eyes staring downward at the neatly folded newspaper on his lap, satisfyingly open to his beloved crossword puzzle.

The radio would be muffled next to him; the FOX channel on at a low roar until a story caught his attention.

bonjour ma cherie!

A FEW WORDS

Thank you for visiting & Reverie, a title inspired by one of my favorite Emily Dickinson poems. Here I share bits and bobs of my Oklahoma City life, thoughts and memories via written word and haphazard photography.
